CONCEPT
To provide a unique custom built urban vehicle for around town errands,
commuting or just plain fun, that is reasonably priced & economical
to use and maintain.
The
1932 Ford Hi-Boy Roadster is the most popular Hot Rod style. It
offers a simple fenderless body, lightweight and offers that
open wind in your face ride.
The
eRoadster, conceived to be the next step up from a NEV
(Neighborhood Vehicle), which are restricted to a top speed of 25 MPH and only
be driven on streets posted max. 35 MPH, or a 15 MPH modified golf cart
made to emulate a Classic, Hot Rod or Off Road Vehicle.
The eRoadster, “Town Roadster” is a scaled down real Hot Rod that
is economical to run and has almost no maintenance to worry about.
(It charges at home from any 120 Volt, 15 to 20 amp household
electrical receptacle over night) It looks good at the local Malt
Shop, Custom Car / Hot Rod Show or get togethers. The eRoadster
also makes a good Companion Vehicle for that Motor Home. It is
small, environmentally clean and can be charged off the Motor
Home Generator.
